The National Forum of Governors offered to send police officers to help restore security at the Esplanada dos Ministérios and Praça dos Três Poderes. The organization held an emergency meeting this afternoon (8), after extremists invaded the headquarters of the Executive, Legislative and Judiciary branches to ask for the annulment of the last presidential elections.
The meeting brought together both governors and state secretaries of Public Security. The National Forum of Governors also issued a note of repudiation of anti-democratic acts in the central area of Brasília.
Read the entity’s note:
“The National Forum of Governors expresses its absolute disgust at witnessing the very serious and unacceptable episodes recorded today in the Federal District, which reveal the invasion of Praça dos Três Poderes, followed by the illegal vandalism of the Planalto Palace, the National Congress and the Federal Supreme Court by coup-mongering protesters, dissatisfied with the result of elections legitimately ended in the country, and publishes this note in support of democracy, condemning any violent attitudes and irresponsible postures that jeopardize the integrity of the democratic state of law.
The Brazilian governors, making themselves available to send state military forces to support the situation of national normality, demand the investigation of the origins of this absurd movement and the adoption of energetic measures against the extremists and those who allowed it, due to negligence or convenience, such situation, as well as the subsequent penalty of those responsible.”
